    NICE LEGS!!!!!!
    just joking thanks for your advice you helped me a lot
    again thanks

    eccentric squats are really working for me at the moment i am seeing significent results. dont push just try a few then few days later again ect, u dont need a eccentric board i just put a flat bit of wood one end resting on my foam roller which i also recomend for stretching the leg muscles that helps too, atm i am doing a regime every 4 days of static stretching then foam roller stretching, static squats where u rest on a wall and sit in the squat position, leg raises then eccentric squats

    After training you should lie down for about a hour, in order to stop the inflamatory process.
    It never occurred to me to ask how much do you weight and what is your height? If you are overweight and you have to walk/stand a lot during the day your tendons never get that chance to rest and recuperate. Losing only 10 pounds can make a great difference.

  6. alinalin0 says:

    You are in a worst shape than i thought. If squating isn;t an option you can go to a local gym and try Lever Leg Extensions. Move lever forward by extending knees until leg are straight. Return lever to original position by bending knees. The motion must be slow and steady. Be careful not to drop the wait, no sudden movements. Lever Leg Extensions are used to recover from very serious injuries so your knees are safe. They may hurt a little the next day, but it’s normal.

    @alinalin0
    Squatting is really bad for my knees if i do only very very easy squats like standing up from a chair without using my hands as backup the pain is worse the next day…

  8. alinalin0 says:

    Before squating you should warm up a bit and stretch, but no static stretching! This is very important, only dinamic stretching. The static stretching is best after the exercises. I hope my english wasn’t that terrible and this helps you :) . Good luck

  9. alinalin0 says:

    there could be another cause. If you usually sleep on your back, your legs (and knees) and in constant tension because they are straight. You can try to put a pillow beneath your knees so the tendons relax. Also it;s important to have a balance between stretching and power, so if you could do some squats, twice a week that would be great. Depending on the level of pain you are you can go deeper into the squat. If it’s too hard, try the easiest form, squating from a chair.

    I already stretched my IT band for 3 weeks… no effect

  11. alinalin0 says:

    You could try stretching your it band, i see in the video that she didn’t mention it at all. Just do a search on youtube, you will find a lot of videos on how to do it properly.

  12. Darksp00n says:

    3 docs said that it is patellar tendonitis

  13. alinalin0 says:

    maybe you do not have Patellar Tendonitis… :)

  14. Darksp00n says:

    since 10 months now … fucking stretch dont work

    im 19 and i had ACL surgery on nov.25th, im going to play football in college and im hopeing to start mma soon so what csn i do to rehab it?

  16. HFjjjkdkl says:

    I am thirteen and play basketball every day. I also play AAU ball. I know you don’t wanna hear this but you have to take it easy for a couple weeks; I didn’t and i just kept playing on it making it worse and worse, BAD CHOICE. It took a long time to get over it 4 month’s, but thats not all that bad compared to most people. Elevate it, strech, Ice and most of all do leg lifts and squats in sets of thirty twice a day…..GOOD LUCK

  17. lexmark136 says:

    doesn’t look good kid… I did the same thig, jogged without stretching, 2 years later and both my knees are still in plenty of pain :(

    tell your parents to bring you to the doctor or a physiotherapist.

  18. ColosiKilla says:

  22. Slidingby says:

    It would be great if someone could confirm that I’m having an early tendinitis symptom. I was lifting weights doing hack squat and calf raise machine and I think I over worked my patellar tendon by swimming the next two days a lot (with hard kicking). Now I almost have discomfort/pain but I woke up one night a few nights ago (after going hard on the knee) and lifted my leg in my sleep it woke me up because of a horrible shooting pain like sharp pain and burning, my knee feels like a tight string

  23. sackmaster91 says:

    Thanks man you too.

  24. iverson246 says:

    @sackmaster91
    Mine took a little over 3 weeks. Still comes and goes but I didn’t ice it at all! You should only ice after the injury. Apply heat to it and massage it with some relief creams or something. I put tiger balm over night to keep it warm and had it strapped tightly the whole time. But not over night. Stretching is good, and yea low impact exercises. Basic squats etc. Good luck man

  25. sackmaster91 says:

    Yea I have stopped and won’t do anything but try and get my knee back to 100% (stretching, low impact exercises, icing). It’s not worth screwing up my knee for life and what good is my vert training going to do if my knee is blown out? How long did it take for yours to heal?
